I am waiting till Aug 1st now . Sooke then Hardy. Fish alberni first time then sooke for fall coho run and September chinook fishery.
It's not the netting for FSC Fisheries that is the issue. Yes there's concern that when they're open that they do catch the stocks of concern, but they have a constitutional priority so we're going to have a hard time preventing that. Getting FSC Fisheries to move to using pound nets or fish trap would be a good measure, but that's another topic.I'm still surprised with all the trash talking that nobody has posted a single video of the netting.
Well i for one am fishing Renfrew and am going to bonk me some big bejesus springs regardless. DFO can take a long hydraulic suck on the end of my love stick, early run Fraser fish have gone through Renfrew if they even passed the shoreline there to start with!!!!!Not meaning to scare everyone, but DFO is seriously looking at extending the closures or going to hatchery only in some of the areas that were scheduled to open on Monday. There reasoning is the Fraser River Slide. Decision will be coming out today or tomorrow.
I strongly recommend you contact your MP, MLA and local media to emphasize how important these areas are to opening on Monday!
I would call Island Outfitters as I believe they're organizing the protestJust looking at BWD and wondering if it blows up is the protest also on land?
Don't blame you!!! We are hoping to go up Tuesday.Well i for one am fishing Renfrew and am going to bonk me some big bejesus springs regardless.

There’s absolutely no correlation between the in river netting of FNs and the open water angling especially at this stage of the season. This government is setting a precedent by giving FNs the power to determine the fate of other sectors. What Jason started in the CKNW interview last week should be scaled up to bring awareness to the general public. Canadians should know what Trudeu’s reconciliation agenda is going to do for them. Bypass the legal rights of publicly elected government, abuse and misuse the authority of the decision makers to let the non-elective tribes decide for others. Then get into back Door business dealings with the chiefs and screw over a bunch of hard working middle class people. I don’t mean to be racist or dismissive of the FN’s legal rights but what this government is doing will do even more harm to FNs than good.Don't blame you!!! We are hoping to go up Tuesday.
I am told by people who know, if DFO is going to extend the (suspect) policy of not allowing First Nation river netting after July 15, they must extend the closures for the Sport Fishermen.
If the closures are extended at this late date, it should result in a joint action law suit.
My guess it won't happed.
Thanks I will just noticed that the wind is WSW should that put Ogden Point in the lee?I would call Island Outfitters as I believe they're organizing the protest
